| Lyrics: | I come and stand at every door
but no-one hears my silent breath
I knock and yet remain
unseen
for I am dead, for I am dead
I'm only seven although I've died
in
Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
when children die they do not
grow
my hair was ________, my ________________
my eyes grew dim, my eyes grew
blind
death came and turned my bones to dust
and that was scattered by the wind [the wind,
the wind]
I need no food, i need no rice
I need no sleep, nor even bread
I ask
for nothing for myself
for I am dead, for I am dead
all that I ask is that for
peace
you fight today, you fight to die
so that the children of this world
may live
and grow, and laugh and play |
